I had LIS sixteen days ago. I'm still taking 1600 mgs of ibuprofen every day. Is this normal? Am I just taking a long time to heal? I am concerned about developing stomach problems from taking so much ibuprofen.
The pain seemed to get less and less each day for the first ten days after surgery. But I feel like I have plateaued the last few days. I assume that if I had a problem, like an abcess, I would be in a lot more pain. I haven't had pain after bowel movements, it's just pain on and off during the day.
Thanks!
